Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy
Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is an internal radiation therapy which is based on specific binding of therapeutic radiopharmaceutical to somatostatin receptor (mostly sstr2) and internalization of receptor-radiopharmaceutical complex to exert radiation damage to neuroendocrine tumour cells.

Polish Experience in Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy
During the period from April 2004 to December 2010, 358 patients underwent peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) ((90)Y-DOTATATE, (177)Lu-DOTATATE, and (90)Y/(177)Lu-DOTATATE) in Poland.The majority of patients underwent (90)Y-DOTATATE therapy (n = 177) with progression-free survival (PFS)/time to progression (TTP) of 17-44 months and overall ...
